The ball has dropped in Times Square, the people are yelling and cheering, people are probably calling their friends, families, loved ones and heck, maybe even drunk dialing ex girlfriends and boyfriends as we speak.  We’re in a mobile generation and I have no doubt that 2008 will be even more techy, even more mobile, and even better than 2007.

So, from all of us here at MoGo, we want to wish you all a very Happy New Year!  Hopefully this year brings you more luck, fortune, laughter and mobile success than ever before.

Gear up with all the best in MoGo stuff, get out there and make 2008 a year to remember!

You know that guy that sits next to you on the airplane that still makes cell phone calls even though all the flight attendants told him to stow his belongings?  Yeah, that guy.  Well, if you’re flying on Air France, you can’t be mad at that guy anymore.  Bummer.

That’s right, Air France is going through a trial phase of allowing in-flight cell phone use for sending and receiving short messages or checking their email…in 3 months time, voice calls are going to be lumped into the experiment, assuming of course it doesn’t interfere with the comfort or well-being of other passengers.  Newsflash, it already is.

Actually, I shouldn’t be so harsh, as a member of the mobile generation I can fully appreciate the need to speak to someone when you want, where you want, and no mobile warrior is complete without that capability.  This will help in that regard but the true question remains…at what cost?  According to the article, to avoid navigation/plane operation issues here’s how it goes down:

“A small cellular base station inside the plane routs onboard calls and messages. Messages are sent to a satellite and then to the ground and the phone’s network. The service is supplied by OnAir, a company partially owned by airplane maker Airbus.” 

Groovy, but does that mean I want to hear about your meatloaf, your business deal, your schmoopy woopy or your love bug?  No.  It doesn’t, and No, it won’t.
